The current results did not replicate previous findings on concern with partner status. The previous results showed that heterosexual women were more concerned with partner status than homosexual women, but the current results showed that heterosexual women (M = 53.69, SD = 9.60) and homosexual women (M = 51.21, SD = 9.04) were comparable, t(1070) = 1.46, p = .14. The previous results also showed that there was no significant difference between heterosexual men and homosexual men, but the current results showed that heterosexual men (M = 48.06, SD = 8.84) were significantly less concerned than homosexual men (M = 51.69, SD = 10.46), t(1727) = 2.98, p = .003.

The current study replicated previous findings on sexual vs. emotional jealousy: Heterosexual women did not differ from homosexual women in terms of their distress at hypothetical sexual infidelity, with 20.56% of heterosexual women and 21.21% of homosexual women responding that sexual infidelity would be more distressing than emotional infidelity, chi square (1) < 0.01, p = .93. Heterosexual men differed from homosexual men, with 39.55% of heterosexual men and only 16.67% of homosexual men responding that sexual infidelity would be more distressing, chi square (1) = 11.53, p < .001.

Any Known Methodological Differences (between original and present study)?

The current study had more unbalanced sample sizes than the original study.
The current study used scales taken from Bailey et al., but in the original study the authors incorporated participants' specific ages in some items on the scale on Preference for Younger Partners. The current study modified those items to generically ask about older or younger partners.
Finally, the current study included a variety of other scales and items related to mating psychology that are not reported in this posting.
